Desconsol (Grief) by the sculptor Josep Llimona i Bruguera (1863-1934) I retained the impact of the vision of this statue, since my childhood.
Between games and slides, on an excursion to the Ciutadella in Barcelona, I ended up in the space of the small pond, where a magical figure captivated me to nowadays . at that moment I did not know that it was not the original, nor who had made it, nor why, nor what it was called. Knowing the answers later, did not expand , or reduce the sensory attraction that its contemplation provoked in me. Nor did I ever sense that the retained impression, Nor did I ever suspect that the impression retained, would end up expressing it with the creation of a perfume that begins with this mysterious figure and makes it the center of 1900.
It took me a long time to design this perfume, basically due to the difficulty of obtaining some raw materials. Its creation, as the nature of its inspiration, was a background work, slow and amazing. Showing itself as an explosion of forgotten nature illuminated by the coldness of a sculpture full of emotions.
The 200 ml finals that materialized this project was the longest he had done at the time.
